“Her talk permanently increased the amount of fruits and vegetables I take in…”

To support our work/life balance activities, we hired Muriel through a recommendation by our company doctor and we are so glad we did. We still apply some of her tips and for me, her talk permanently increased the amount of fruits and vegetables I take in. Muriel is very passionate about sharing information about healthy habits but her effectiveness was in her ability to break down the information with stories in a way the employees could understand and still remember to this day. She also designed the talk to fit the concerns we mentioned during the consultation so we went from a room reluctant to be there on a Saturday morning to a room fully engaged with questions and statements of confirmation within 30 seconds of her talk. The pictures and her descriptions left quite the impression. And of course, by the time she had us taste the smoothies she prepared in front of us, several of our employees were asking about more smoothie recipes and ways to tackle other concerns. The big change was that even after the talk, employees still discussed and practiced some of her suggestions—started drinking more water, actually made smoothies, brought more fruits and vegetables to work and just seemed more energetic. There was actually a long debate about the nutritional benefits of a few foods, Kanda, specifically. I also noticed that our staff started connecting any aches and pains to what they were eating. I can easily say the talk made a positive difference for our office—Muriel gave useful tips/guidelines that we continue to implement and our employees and I are so much better for it.
